Abstract

In this trans-disciplinary special issue, diverse themes are dealt with that can be reduced to sustainable development (and that which is related to it) in a distinctive manner. Matters which are discussed include: the conceptualisation of power, political transformation as an ideology, ethical political communication, white-collar crime; ministry in a post-literary communication context; development cooperation in Africa; and the problem of liaison between academics, students and practitioners regarding public management in the North West Province.
